I have always been loyal to a classic pink pedicure, but then I found this timeless color instead.

      At Who What Wear HQ, we recently made an interesting observation—the most fashionable women don’t limit their pedicures to summer; they maintain well-groomed toes all year. Why is that? A great pedicure is not just for displaying during sandal weather; it's the easiest way to instantly feel polished, regardless of the season. So even if your toes are tucked away in ballet flats or boots, scheduling a pedicure can give you a much-needed boost of happiness on dull, grey days. This highlights the importance of having a collection of trending pedicure colors at the ready for your appointments. One approach is to embrace the most popular colors of each season and bring along your inspiration pictures to the salon. Alternatively, if you prefer a low-maintenance beauty routine, like I do, I've found that classic colors can be worn year-round without falling out of sync with the changing seasons.

      With that in mind, I've always been drawn to the timeless pink pedicure or ice-white toes, depending on my mood—until recently. I've come across what I believe to be the most chic, timeless, yet fun pedicure color. If you think a lilac pedicure is only for spring, let me change your mind.

      What Makes the Lilac Pedicure Trend So Appealing? I firmly believe that a lilac pedicure is a stylish option that can be worn anytime, not just in warmer months. It presents a cooler alternative to the traditional pink pedicure, providing a fresh reinterpretation of a beloved look. Thanks to its understated palette, it’s both soft and wearable while still being surprising.

      It seems I'm not alone in this conviction. “Lilac is that ideal in-between shade—soft yet assertive, playful yet refined,” said Daisy Kalnina, CEO and founder of The Gel Bottle Inc, when I asked her about the popularity of lilac pedicures. “It’s timeless because it complements every skin tone and feels vibrant throughout the year. My favorite is Fresco from TGB, which perfectly embodies this balance, making it a modern classic for pedicures.”

      While The Gel Bottle’s Fresco is an excellent choice for salon appointments, it's not the sole option for a stylish lilac pedicure. One of the best aspects of this trend is its versatility; it can be tailored to suit your personal style. Consider bold purple shades for the color enthusiasts or milky lilac hues for those who prefer a minimalist aesthetic.

      To assist you in selecting the ideal hue, I’ve compiled some of my favorite lilac pedicure inspirations along with the best polishes to recreate these looks at home. Keep reading for more...
